.. IMPROVED COMPOSITION FOR LINING IL- ARREL x To 00% whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, HENRY LOEWENBERG, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Compound for Coating or Lining Articles of Wood, 820. 5 and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled inthe art to make and use the same.

This invention consists in the use of a compound of glues or gelatinous substances combined with acids and sirups, or analogous substances, for the purpose of coating articles of wood or other materials, or for lining boxes, barrels, &c., or for saturating cloth or other textile fabrics, and thereby preventing the penetration of liquids, such as benzine, turpentine, oils, and fatty and volatile fluids or substances of any description. By adding coloring-matters, either in a liquid or pulverized form, to said composition a compound is produced which can beusedwith advantage for the purpose of coating flexible articles such, for instance, which may be. in some cases used in place of india-rubber goods. The proportion in which I mix the abovefnamed ma-- terials together is variable, and depends upon the nature of the materials used in the composition, and of the articles to which the compound is to be applied.

The acid which I use by preference isacetic Specification forming part 'of Letters Patent No. 47.4 96, dated April 25, 1865.

A good compound is produced by using ingredients in the following proportion glu or gelatinous matter,wonegpound; acetic aci (diluted in water) of sufficient quantity of cover the glue, and after the glue disso ed add sirup, five ounces. j T This composition may beapplied asa ar nish to wood-work, stones, or other articles render the same proof against the influence f moisture or of theatmosphere; or it may also be used as a lining for boxes or barrels, particularly for petroleum-barrels. s By the ad 'xture of sirup the compos is rendered tough and prevented from beco ing hard and brittle, andfit is notliable scale off or to crack. It can be produced a small expense, and. its applicationto pet leum-barrels alone will. produce an immense saving in oil whichis .nowlost by leakag I claim as new and desire to secure by tersPatent 1 w w 11 1 The use of 3a compound of the ingredients herein described-win, of glue, acid, ands up--and mixed together substantiallyin the manner and about in the proportion set forth.
